Readings:

Still the same books as last week. I don't think it was a good idea to start 3 books at once, I am probably going to focus of Bands of Mourning, which has become really interesting. Still have about 1/3rd of the book to go though.

What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

Not sure I'll finish this one, but currently I'm reading Magna Carta by David Carpenter. It's a pretty heavy historical book on - you guessed it - the Magna Carta, an important British legal document written on 1215. I picked this one up from the library refuse bin for a nominal fee. I suppose I felt inspired to read more on the document since it established that the king is not above the law and habeas corpus. Principles that some unnamed countries should consider.
